UNIONDALE, N.Y. — The Islanders certainly didn’t play like a first-place team.
Which is why they remained in third place in the East Division after a 6-3 loss to the Capitals on Saturday night before a sellout crowd of 1,400 at Nassau Coliseum.
The first-place Capitals, who had three two-goal leads before the final margin, won back-to-back games at the Coliseum with the teams concluding their three-game series on Tuesday night in Washington.
